Project Summary The Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center/Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (NSEC/CNS-ASU) combines research, training, and engagement to develop a new approach to governing emerging nanotechnologies. CNS-ASU uses the research methods of “real-time technology assessment” to enable a strategic vision of anticipatory governance through enhanced foresight capabilities, engagement with lay publics, and integration of social science and humanistic work with nanoscale science and engineering research and education. CNS-ASU has two types of integrated research programs, as well as educational and outreach activities (themselves well-integrated with research). Its real-time technology assessment programs are: RTTA 1, Research and Innovation Systems Assessment, which uses bibliometric and patent analyses to understand the evolving dynamics of the NSE enterprise; RTTA 2, Public Opinion and Values, which uses surveys and quasi-experimental media studies to understand changing public and scientists’ perspectives on NSE; RTTA 3, Anticipation and Deliberation, which uses scenario development and other techniques to foster deliberation on plausible NSE applications; and RTTA 4, Reflexivity and Integration, which uses participant-observation and other techniques to assess the Center’s influence on reflexivity among NSE collaborators. Second, the thematic research clusters (TRCs), which pursue fundamental knowledge and create linkages across the RTTAs, are: TRC 1, Equity, Equality and Responsibility; and TRC 2, Urban Design, Materials, and the Built Environment (“Nano and the City”). The Center’s major conceptual-level achievement has been validating anticipatory governance as a richly generative strategic vision. Its major operations-level achievements include: 1) demonstrating capacities for foresight, engagement, and integration that constitute anticipatory governance; 2) completing the “end-to-end” activities by linking multiple RTTA capacities for (the earlier) TRC 2 to create novel insights in a study of nanotechnology and the brain and for TRC 1 to create novel insights into equity and nanotechnology; 3) deepening the integration of NSE researchers into CNS-ASU; and 4) building collaborations for informal science education (ISE) on the societal aspects of NSE. Programmatic achievements in the reporting year include: revising an internationally adopted definition of nanotechnology and assembling a large study panel of nano firms; conducting polls of national public opinion poll and of leading nano-scientists; piloting a new type of future-oriented deliberation; demonstrating that interactions between NSE researchers and social scientists can generate more reflexive decisions; conducting new field research on NSE and equity; and delineating some challenges and approaches to nanotechnology innovation in the context of urban sustainability. The Center’s principal intellectual merit derives from the large-scale, interdisciplinary ensemble that underpins it. The ability to generate creative scholarship, embrace and facilitate interactions among disparate approaches to understanding nanotechnologies, and build complementary capacities to tap that knowledge for governance, is the critical intellectual contribution to which CNS-ASU aspires. The Center’s work has a substantial impact on scholarship, not only in terms of publications and citations but also through hosting international visitors. For broader impact, the Center has coupled research, education, and outreach activities exceptionally well by training significant numbers of new scholars from the social sciences and NSE, incorporating forefront research into a new winter school for early career scholars, new courses and ISE opportunities, and returning lessons learned and techniques developed for outreach back to the classroom. The Center has broadened the participation of under-represented groups by cultivating junior scholarship and raising issues of equity, gender, and disability as objects of programmatic study. The Center has enhanced the infrastructure for research and education by organizing community-defining conferences, producing community-defining sources of knowledge, serving as an international hub for dozens of scholars, sharing data and instruments widely, and disseminating its results aggressively to its academic peers as well as to public, scientific, industry, and policy audiences through traditional means and increasingly through new media. 3 Annual Report for Award #0937591 September 1, 2012 – August 31, 2013 4.

    Ralph J. Cicerone 1943–2016 A Biographical Memoir by Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts, Diane E. Griffin, V. Ramanathan, Barbara Schaal, and Susan E. Trumbore ©2020 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RALPH JOHN CICERONE May 2, 1943–November 5, 2016 Elected to the NAS, 1990 Baseball afficinado; scientific visionary; natural leader; statesman of great integrity; convincer par excellence; half of an incredible team…this is the human treasure that was Ralph J. Cicerone. It is an enormous challenge to capture adequately Ralph’s essence and the many ways he left the world a better place. We hope in the following we have some small measure of success in this endeavor. Ralph Cicerone’s is a very American story. His grandparents were immigrants from Italy and he was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania on May 2, 1943. His father, Salvatore, was an insurance salesman who, when working in the evenings, left math problems for Ralph to solve. Ralph, who had a natural affinity for sports, became the first in his family to attend college. At MIT, he was captain of the baseball team By Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts, while majoring in electrical engineering. Graduating with Diane E. Griffin, V. Ramanathan, a B.S. in 1965, he moved to the University of Illinois for his Barbara Schaal, Master’s (1967) and Ph.D. (1970) degrees in electrical engi- and Susan E. Trumbore neering (minoring in physics). Ralph’s start at Illinois proved to be life-changing; while standing in line to register for the class Theory of Complex Variables, he met his future life partner, Carol, and they married in 1967.

As digital technologies are expanding the power and reach of research, they are also raising complex issues. These include complications in ensuring the validity of research data; standards that do not keep pace with the high rate of innovation; restrictions on data sharing that reduce the ability of researchers to verify results and build on previous research; and huge increases in the amount of data being generated, creating severe challenges in preserving that data for long-term use. Ensuring the Integrity, Accessibility, and Stewardship of Research Data in the Digital Age examines the consequences of the changes affecting research data with respect to three issues - integrity, accessibility, and stewardship-and finds a need for a new approach to the design and the management of research projects.

National Aeronautics and Educational Program Space Administration Faculty, Teachers Grades K- & Students Post Doctoral Office of Human Resources and Education Education Divisi (NASA-EP-321) NATIONAL DIRECTLY N96-19287 OF SPACE GRANT CONTACTS (NASA) 107 p Unclas HI/81 0101133 National Directory of Space Grant Contacts Front Cover: Galaxies: Snapshots in Time This sequence of NASA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of remote galaxies offers tantalizing initial clues to the evolution of galaxies in the universe. (far left column) These are traditional spiral and elliptical-shaped galaxies that make up the two basic classes of island star cities that inhibit the universe we see in our current epoch (14 billion years after the birth of the universe in the Big Bang). Elliptical galaxies contain older stars, while spirals have vigorous ongoing star formation in their dusty, pancake-shaped disks. Our Milky Way galaxy is a typical spiral, or disk-shaped galaxy, on the periphery of the great Virgo cluster. Both galaxies in this column are a few tens of millions of light-years away, and therefore represent our current stage of the universe's evolution. (center left column) These galaxies existed in a rich cluster when the universe was approximately two-thirds its present age. Elliptical galaxies (top) appear fully evolved because they resemble today's descendants. By contrast, some spirals have a "frontier" appearance, with loosely shaped arms of young star formation. The spiral population appears more disrupted due to a variety of possible dynamical effects that result from dwelling in a dense cluster. (center right column) Distinctive spiral structure appears more vague and disrupted in galaxies that existed when the universe was nearly one-third its present age.
